Sheffielders! I've come across a couple of nice ways to support other Sheffielders at the moment... face masks made by a local maker and sold by a local business, with 50% of profits going to the Samaritans https://sheffieldmakershuntersbar.com/collections/idle-sew-and-sew-face-masks #sheffield #sheffieldissuper

‘What has happened, in the midst of the tragedy & uncertainty of recent weeks, is a classic case of correlation being mistaken for causation; of hastily drawn opinions becoming established fact; of an industry being silenced on a false premise.’ https://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2020/5-june/comment/opinion/it-is-time-to-sing-again

We are a living musical tradition that is almost 1,000 years old & proud to be part of the #EnglishChoralTradition. We should be hopeful for its future, as Psalm 46 reminds us, but prepared to positively and proactively protect it for generations to come
